Again, only works for Storytellers who prioritise certain types of story over others, as opposed to feeling that the story should emerge from the premises of the campaign world and characters.

You can be a Storyteller and still feel deeply that competent and professional characters in a plausible fictional world ought to be carefully prepared and plan their actions out. A story where they do not, without some valid reason for it, is not a story that everyone likes and may not be the Story that all Storytellers want to tell.

In fact, Method Actors may well feel that representing a plausible professional at action-adventure stuff requires extensive planning and preparation.

Fundamentally, I think this question only serves to distinguish between the kinds of fiction people like, with special reference to its plausibility and degree to which Protagonist Plot Protection is an accepted part of it, and not at all where they fall on the Laws player types.
